Worst Examples Of Blackface, Yellowface & Whitewash in 21st Century

It’s disgusting that this kind of ‘transformative acting’ still used even in new century. The worst I can think of was the casting of Emma Stone as Asian American in Aloha, the entire cast of The Last Airbender, Maddie Ziegler in Music (Oh Body music), Robert Downey in Tropic Thunder, and Eddie Murphy in Norbit (this one is so awful and offensive that I had no more words for it)

Robert Downey in Tropic Thunder

Actually, his character is a satire. He criticizes the blackface in Hollywood. It was intentional.

I swear, anyone mentioning Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder as an example of blackface is dumb as hell.

That’s literally a parody of the pretentious, self centered method actor.

Wasn’t Zoe Saldana trashed left and center for darkening her skin in order to play Nina Simone?

Because the internet takes things out of context. There are plenty of people on Twitter etc who just see a still image and form their opinions based on that. The lack of nuance on social media is a nightmare to navigate.
